SYNOPSIS
{Beautiful, exotic Chiqulta, enter-
tainer at Fnenta Frla Casino, In
Mexico, Is anxious to locate Jolm-
nit De Voe, the publicity director.
[ Returning from hit empty cottage
! on the grounds, she Is accosted by
[ a man who knocks her unconscious
•id then holds her head In a flsh-
I pond until she drowns. The mur-
1 derer then casually joins a male
I companion at the Casino. Later
I that night, Johnnie returns from
I a business trip. He learns from his
1 assistant, “Red” Munson, that Le-
Wnd Homage, scion of a wealthy
Boston family (Just returned from
Tibet), and Mog» Finelll, the gang-
ster (just released from Alcatraz),
are guests at the Casino, having
arrived almost simultaneously that
ffternoon. Putting two and two to-
gether, Johnnie believes Finelll
followed Ramage to kidnap him.
Johnnie is surprised when “Red”
tells him the usually reserved Ra-
mage had asked to meet Chiqulta.
The singer really Is Helen Gates,
• New England society girl who,
after a brilliant marriage, was In-
volved In a scandalous divorce.
After that, she sang In night clubs
am. became acquainted with rack-
eteers and crooked politicians. Un-
der the name “Chiqulta,” she was
wylng to come back at Fuente
Frla. “Red” Is In love with her.
Joe Soares, chief of police, Informs
Johnnie of Chiquita’s death. To
avoid unfavorable publicity, the
murder is listed as “accidental
qf rowring,” but Johnnie vows to
get the killer. His first step Is to
question Finelll. Outside of deny-
ing that he knew Chlqultta was
Helen Gates, Finelll thought Chl-
qulta recognized him and killed her
to prevent her from tipping Ra-
Jnngc off and spoiling the kidnap-
ing scheme. When Jo.innie Informs
Ramage of Finelli’s presence, the
millionaire threatens to leave un-
less the gangster docs. Johnnie
tells Ramage he will not oust
J lnelll because he is under suspi-
cion of murder, but to insure the
playboy’s safety will put him under
police guard. This satisfied Ra-
mage. Five o’clock tl:c following
morning a small man enters the
Casino with a suitcase. The place
4s deserted except for two porters.
He slashes them to death.
CHAPTER VI
IT WAS not yet eight o’clock
when the two press agents entered
%ie patio in the Casino building.
At that early hour less than a doz-
en people were breakfasting.
Among them were L. Ramage and
Harry Smith. Johnnie nodded to
, Jhem and took a table about 20
®eet from theirs.
"Anything new this morning?”
Ramage called In that Irritating,
arrogant tone he affected
“Nflt- a thltlff ** TnVirvnlm
“Not a thing,” Johnnie toliHiim.
“Well, I wish you luck.”
if »
“We’ll need it.”
Johnnie ordered his usual hot
milk and toast. Munson began ab-
stractedly: "Ham and eggs and
French fried potatoes and side or-
der of—” He checked himself,
swallowed hard and reached for
#iis glass of water. “Make that
toast and coffee. Dry toast.”
Johnnie smiled faintly, shook his
head. “There are some things you
don’t forget in a hurry. Those were'
good boys, those two. I knew them
well.”
* Red gulped his water. "What do
you think of Battling Knight in the
third today?”
“Not at six furlongs, Red.
They’re prepping the Knight for a
mile and waiting for a spot.”
A After that they didn’t try to
Talk.
Munson was on his third cup of
coffee when he saw Mogo Finelll
and his shadow strolling into the
patio.
“Huh! l.e grunted. “We’re en-
tertaining rats for breakfast.”
Johnnie, absorbed in his milk
toast, did not look up.
“Well, I’ll be—!” Red sputtered.
"Will yuh lamp that?”
Johnnie raised his head. His Jaw
^lamped shut and he half rose
•from his chair as he saw Finelli
walk up to L. Ramage’s table. Ra-
mage stood up, glaring at the
gangster. He said something which
th press agents could not hear.
“Bet it was, ‘Sir, how dare you’,"
^fted sneered.
Finelll answered him. They
talked for a moment and then—
Finelli and Jake LuX: drew up
chairs and sat down. At the same
table with Leland Ramage.
Johnnie sat watching the four
men for several minutes. Finelll
and his partner showed no dispo-
sition to leave Ramage’* table.
Finally Johnnie looked around the
patio. By this time at least 30 peo-
ple had made their way in to
breakfast.
“Can’t make a scene,” he mut-
tered. “Bad for the house. Has
Mogo Finelli got nerve, or has he
got nerve?"
He carefully wiped his lips, stood
up and strolled casually over to
Ramage’s table.
"Finelli," he said calmly, “there’s
r limit. Seram!”
The gangster looked up grin-
ning. “You got me wrong, big
boy. If somebody has to scram, you
do it. The dook here—-Mr. Ramage
to you—has asked me to chow.”
Johnnie looked at Ramage and
found the young man smiling in-
dulgently. “Mr. Finelli is right. I
have asked him to breakfast. I
think I shall find the gentleman
quite amusing. That will be all,
Mr. De Voe."
Johnnie bowed, turned on his
heel and went back to iris table.
His face was violently red and his
bony hands were trembling. He
said crisply, in tones that carried
to Ramage’s table:
"Munson, get the chief on the
phone and tell him to withdraw
the tails on our two distinguished
guests.”
Red stood up, beaming. “Now
you’re talking, Mr. De Voe. If a
guy is dumb enough to stick his
fingers In a gear box, he rates get-
ting them chewed off.” Then his
Jaw dropped and the smile went
out of his eyes. “Only—only,” he
said in an undertone, “it isn’t
standing anybody up in front of a
Mex firing squad.”
“You may take it for granted,”
Johnnie retorted grimly, “that the
firing squad already is falling into
position with loaded rifles.”
The long day dragged intermin-
ably, the morning in the office, the
afternoon at the Jockey club, the
early hours of the evening in the
office again.
Johnnie worked as though all
were serene at Fuente Fria. Only
now and then did Red Munson
catch him staring into space, his
gray eyes somber, his mouth bit-
ter, his long arms dangling at his
sides, the big fists clenched.
Once Red said: “Suooose he
takes a powder?”
“Finelli? He won’t take a pow-
der. The stake is too high.”
“But if he suspects you can hang
the murders on him—”
“He’d play it out anyway. Mogo
Finelli, in case you haven’t been
told, has courage.”
“Yeah, and so’s a rat when he’s
cornered. And when you back
Finelli against a wall—”
“I’ve thought of all that, son. Ifi
those mugs knew what’s in my
mind, my life wouldn’t be worth a
plugged dime."
“Then why don’t you do some-
thing—do something!” Red cried.
"Because—” Johnnie’s voice was
cool and slow—“they have the rail
right now and we can't take it
away from them. We’il make our
move in the stretch. In the mean-
time, you’ve got the jitters. Well,
what of it ? I’ve got the jitters, too.
Is there anything we can do about
it? Yes. We can go over the proofs
for next week’s ads. Where are
they?”
The hours dragged along. At
eight they went in to dinner. At
the best table in the dining room
were Ramage and Smith, Mogo
Finelli and his pal. Chatting like
old friends!
“I suppose the supercilious snob
is getting a big boot out of making
a pal of that killer,” Red Munson
gritted.
They stayed through the floor
show, which was drab without Chi-
quita. It was ten o’clock before
Johnnie signed the chit, finished
his fifth glass of milk and led the
way down the long tiled corridor
to the gaming room.
Saturday night at Fuente Fria.
Ladies in decollete. Old ladies,
grandmothers with thin white hair
and too-bright cheeks. Young la-
dies, not yet mothers, with chalky
faces and brilliant lips and too-
bright eyes. Men in evening dress.
College boys and septogenarians,
financiers and con men, race horse
owners and race horse riders. The
sporting blood of half of Califor-
nia and not a little of the world.
"Thirteen and the black. ... So
I put a hundred bucks on this
beetle’s nose and he. . . . Two
more sidecars. . . . And the goat
only paid two-forty to show. . . .
Your dice, madam . . . Jammed
on the stretch turn. . . . Twelve
straight passes. . . . Canny Scot
in the seventh. . . . Nine on the
red ..."
Saturday night rt Fuente Fria.
“Finelli and Ramage are at the
No. 1 wheel,” Red Munson said
breathlessly. "The other two guys
are at the bar.”
Johnnie nodded. There was a
grim look now in his eyes. His
•movements, his stride, were ner-
vous, jerky. Moisture stood out on
his forehead.
"If something doesn’t happen
pretty soon I’m going balmy,” said
Red Munson.
Johnnie ignored the comment.
He paused beside a crap layout and
took the arm of a handsome blonde
girl in a daring bright blue gown.
"How are you, Miss Wright?"
“Oh, good evening, Mr. De Voe.”
“Could I tear you away from the
dice long enough to buy you a
drink?”
“I’d love it.”
The three of them strolled over
to the bar, found a small table in
the far comer. Johnnie ordered a
glass of milk and two bottles of
German beer. He said confiden-
tially:
"I was talking to Mose Smith
who owns the horse. He says—”
He leaned forward, lowered his
voice. “Rose, the chief has proba-
bly already pointed out Leland Ra-
mage and Mogo Finelli to you.
They’re together now at the No. 1
wheel. Draw a hundred dollars
from the cashier, wander over
there and enter the play. Note who
is winning, what numbers they’re
playing, and report back to me
here in an hour. Got it, kid?”
“I have it, Johnnie," she smiled.
Rising, she said: "Thanks for the
tip and the drink, Mr. De Voe. Be
seeing you.”
Munson’s eyes were hostile; he
could not keep his hands still.
"Do we sit here for an hour?”
he demanded.
We sit here for an hour,” John-
nie said placidly.
“Drinking beer?”
“Drinking beer.”
“Not me. I gotta have a shot.”
“Sorry, Red. You’ll have to stick
to beer. And the limit is two bot-
tles.”
"Two bottles!” Red groaned.
“Don’t you want to have your
wits about you—when the blow-off
comes?”
An hour later Rose Wright came
back to their table. Johnnie or-
dered her a drink, leaned forward.
He was smiling, affable.
“Let’s have it, Rose.”
“A Mrs. Larch. An elderly dame
who has been in 201 for about a
week and is all alone. She’s been
playing the 12 and she just broke
the bank.”
"H-m. That’s twenty thousand
dollars."
“Yes. A snappy-looking redhead-
ed girl whom I never saw before—
she must just be down for the eve-
ning—is playing the 15. She’s prob-
ably six thousand dollars to the
good.”
“Go on,” Johnnie ordered breath-
lessly.
“A little man by the name of
Hawks from C-14 is playing the 24.
He’s way ahead.”
Johnnie’s affable, easy smile
went away. “A little man! Does he
look like a jockey?”
"He’s about 40. But if he isn’t
an ex-jockey I’ll eat my hat.”
Johnnie’s eyes were cold and
bleak as he glanced at Red Mun-
son.
“And Leland Ramage?” he
asked.
"Mr. Ramage is tossing chips all
over the table, hit or miss. He
might be a thousand dollars be-
hind.”
“Uh-huh. And Mogo Finelli?”
"Finelli is playing the red. A
hundred dollars at every turn of
the wheel.”
“Is he winning or losing?”
Rose laughed. "The 12, and 15,
and the 24 are red, Johnnie. Mrs.
Larch, the snappy red-head and
the ex-jockey are winning steadily.
And when they win, Finelli wins.
He must be nearly ten thousand to
the good." Rose laughed. “Mike
McNaught is handling the rake on
No. 1. And is Mike sweating! Don’t
ask!”
Johnnie took a deep, not very
steady, breath. “Thanks, Rose.
That’s all. Care for another
drink?”
“No. I’ve had enough for a
while.” She stood up. “Be seeing
you, Mr. De Voe."

COUNTIES REPORT
COTTON INCREASE
Topography and geography of
Texas make rural line construction
ifllch less expensive than had been
in early surveys at the
the REA was created.
194# CENSUS SHOWS HALL HAS
CROP INCREASE; DONLEY
FEW BALES SHORT
CLARENDON — Donley County’s
nine cotton gins had ginned 6,341
bales of cotton from the 1940 crop
prior to Nov. 14, as compared with
6,355 bales for the 1939 crop.
This report was issued recently to
the Department of Commerce, bu-
reau of the census, Washington, by
Van Kennedy.
MEMPHIS — A total of 16,445
bales of cotton had been ginned in
Hall County previous to November
14 as compared with 8,672 at the
same time in 1939, C. Lee Rushing,
special agent for the bureau of cen-
sus of the U. S. Department of
Commerce, said this week.
This year’s crop, with almost
twice as much ginned as in 1939,
has been estimated by most Hall
Countians at about 26,000 bales.
Recent rains have slowed down
gathering of cotton, but ginning
is expected to increase during the
next few weeks. A few farmers
have reported that much of their
cotton, planted late, has not yet
fully opened.

COLLINGSWORTH TO
HAVE 25 MILES OF
SHELTERBELT, 1941
INCREASED PLANTING QUOTA
ADDS SOIL PROTECTION
FROM WIND EROSION
WELLLINGTON — Collingsworth
County’s shelterbelt quota for this
year will be 25 miles, W. J. Grigg,
who is in charge of the Shelter-
belt office here, has announced.
In pointing out the purpose of
shelterbelt planting Mr. Grigg stab
ed that the primary purpose was
the protection of soil from wind
erosion.
“Aside from this, these belts will
supply fuel and posts in later
years, furnish protection for live-
stock, conserve soil moisture, fur-
nish cover and food for wildlife,
protect growing crops, improve liv-
ing conditions, and in other ways
contribute to the general well be-
ing of the region,” he said.
Applications for a shelterbelt may
be made through the county agent’s
office, or to Mr. Grigg at the sub
district shelterbelt office, which is
located just south of ti}e city hall
in Wellington.
In connection with the shelter-
belt planting, Mr. Grigg pointed
out that certain requirements must
be observed. The plantings, he said,
will be located where, in the opin-
ion of the Forest Service and the
landowner, they will give maximum
protection to fields. This will usual-
ly be in an east and west direc-
tion along the south or north edge
of the field.
The plantings will be about 4 to
7 rods wide, consisting of 5 to 10
rows of tree and shrubs. A strip
of less than one-half mile in length
will not be considered unless it is
limited by ground conditions or it
would be a continuation of another
planting.
Nor will plantings be made
where it is determined that the
soil Is not suitable for tree growth.
The trees will be furnished and
planted by the Forest Service with-
out charge. After planting, the trees
will become the property of the
landowner. The owner, however,
must agree not to remove or sell
the young trees.
The landowner agrees to keep
livestock out of the planted area,
and if fencing is necessary the
landowner will furnish the fencing
materials necessary for building a
minimum standard two-wire fence
with posts not more than 20 feet
apart. The Forest Service will fur-
nish the labor for constructing the
fence.
The landowner will prepare the
ground for planting the trees in a
manner acceptable to the govern-
ment. Proper cultivation, it is point-
ed out, is necessary for the success-
ful growing of the trees. Since they
become the property of the land-
owner after planting, it will be his
responsibility to provide the nec-
essary care. The government may,
if funds permit, assist with culti-
vation, when an emergency exists.

PATRIOTISM KEYNOTE
FOR PRICE STUDENTS
Patriotism plus is boasted by
students at Price school who met
■recently and divided into two
groups for competitive games.
Each society went to a separ-
ate room and selected its name.
When the two groups jointly
convened again they found they
were carrying the same name —
Stars and Stripes.
So one side took Stars for its
name and the other took Stripes.

Boy Scouts Of America
Welcome Brother Scouts
From Foreign Countries
The world-wide scope of the Boy
Scout Movement with its member-
ship in 47 nations of more than
3,300,000 Scouts, Cubs and Leaders,
now comes to the foreground with
the news that the Boy Scouts of
America are welcoming brother
Scouts who, by reason of the war,
have temporarily left their homes.
The Scouts from foreign lands
are being welcomed into Scout cir-
cles here and are being made to feel
at home. The entire membership
of the Boy Scouts of America has
been advised by Chief Scout Execu-
tive James E. West that these for-
eign Scouts might very properly be
invited to participate in Troop ac-
tivities especially because the fourth
point of the Scout Law reads, “A
Scout is Friendly. He is a friend to
all and a brother to every other
Scout.”
The Scouts from other countries
may wear their own Scout uniforms
and Insignia. By a reciprocal agree-
ment they may have an equivalent
rank in the Boy Scouts of America
to that which they had earned In
their own country. Advancement In
Scouting in the United States may
be credited toward an advanced
rank in the Scout organizations to
which they belong.
Brotherhood Strengthened
World Scout brotherhood has
been strengthened through the |
years by Scouts of many lands liv- I
ing together at World Scout Jam- ;
borees which ordinarily have been j
held each four years, and National
Scout Jamborees to which Scouts of j
neighboring lands have been in-,
vited.
The first World Scout Jamboree 1
was held in Olympia, England in |
1920 by 18,000 Scouts of 27 coun- j
tries, including 301 Scouts and 55 ;
leaders from the United States. Co- \
penhagen, Denmark was the scene
of the second conclave with 5,000
boys taking part from 34 nations,
including a picked Troop of 56
Scouts from America. The largest
World Jamboree was the third
which brought 50,000 Scouts to Ar-
rowe Park, near Birkenhead, Eng-
land marking the “coming of age”
of Scouting in 1929. The American
delegation numbered 1,300 Scouts
and leaders. Hungary was host to
the fourth World Jamboree in 1933,
with 21,000 Scouts in attendance
from 46 lands. The American con-
tingent comprised 402 persons.
Jamboree In America
In the summer of 1937 the Boy
Scouts of America held its first Na-
tional Scout Jamboree at Washing-
ton, D.C. with 27,232 Scouts and
leaders camping together for ten
days. Numbered among them were
200 Scouts from foreign lands. At
the close of this gathering, 814
American Scouts and leaders at-
tended the Fifth World Jamboree
in The Netherlands which brought
together 26,000 from 28 lands.
Hardly a month before the pres-
ent European war broke out in Sep-
tember 1939, the Tenth Internation-
al Scout Conference at Edinburgh,
Scotland heard plans for the Sixth
World Scout Jamboree which was
to have been held in France in 1941.
Boy Scouts of the world will have
to wait until hostilities cease be-
fore they can meet again as Scout
brothers.
Scouting has often been adjudged
one of the most influential factors
in the promotion of world peace,
creating international good-will and
friendship by emphasizing those
points which nations have in com-
mon. The Scout Program is based
upon activities that are fundamen-
tal to boyhood the world around.
